Bring your family to experience the best of nature, wildlife, culture and beautiful beaches with the Malaysia Family Explorer package that brings you to the beautiful city of Kuching and the island of Langkawi! Your journey will start in Kuching where you will discover the quaint city life and delicious foods offered in this state capital of Sarawak and indulge in the beauty of wildlife and nature through an orangutan excursion tour.
Upon arrival at the Kuching International Airport, we will meet you and transfer you to your hotel. Include: Airport Transfer, Accommodation
After breakfast, you will be taken on a ½-day city tour around Kuching City where you will get a chance to visit places of attractions, such as the ornate Chinese Temple, The Cat monument and the Sarawak Museum. You will also get to experience the Main Bazaar, the China Town Market and other places where you can get exotic Sarawak souvenirs. Before returning to the hotel, enjoy a local lunch.

After breakfast, your tour will begin with a scenic drive to the Semenggoh Orangutan Centre from Kuching. Upon arrival, you will have half-kilometer trek to the feeding platform. Feeding times are scheduled every day and during these times, you will get a chance to witness orang utans and their cute antics! The highlight of the tour is to observe the young orang utans come down from the trees to be fed. Although physical contact is not allowed, you can take as many photos as you like from a short distance. After the feeding time, you can proceed to have a short visit to the Information Centre where photos and exhibits are on display. Here, you can learn more about these endangered animals. The rehabilitated animals are to be released back into the wild once they are independent and able to find food for themselves. The main goal of the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre is: “To rehabilitate confiscated wildlife that have been incapacitated or handicapped due to prolonged captivity by humans, with the objective of releasing them to the forests eventually.“ We continue to to the Annah Rais Bidayuh Longhouse. During your tour, you will be able to witness everyday activities of the Bidayuh people, such as rice pounding and winnowing, basket and mat-weaving, and bamboo carving, among other things. You will also get to witness the most important structure of the head house, known as the ‘Baruk’, that is situated in the middle of the longhouse. Inside the ‘Baruk’, you will be able to see relics of real human skulls hanging around the fire place. We return to Kuching end of the afternoon. Include: Entrance fee, English Speaking Guide & Accommodation at Pullman Kuching Meals: Breakfast & Lunch Read more
After lunch and check out, you will be transferred from your hotel to the Sarawak Boat Club where you will get on your boat for a cruise to the mouth of the Santubong River. Here, sightings of the Irrawaddy dolphins have often been reported. However, dolphin-spotting is not guaranteed and it all depends on your luck. Your boat will then take you through the mangrove-lined rivers for a wildlife-spotting adventure. As it gets darker, you will be able to see the adorable Proboscis monkeys hanging out on treetops, often in harems. Keep an eye out for crocodiles too, crawling on the mud banks or swimming in the calm waters. A caveat: please don’t dip your hands in the water! After crocodile-spotting, next you will get a chance to see twinkly fireflies gathering by the riverbanks. Watch as they flicker around the mangrove branches, like beautiful Christmas lights by the riverbank before returning to the Sarawak Boat Club. Include: Wildlife Cruise, English Speaking Guide & Accommodation at Pullman Kuching Meal: Breakfast Read more
In the morning, we take a 40-minute journey to the Sarawak Cultural Village, which is also known as the 'Living Museum'.

We had a great travel! Everything was exellent: the help, planning, accommodation, food, experience... everything! We are so happy with the trip!
